Sorry i didn't send an update last week.
Last week Ayla took leaps and bounds. Monday she was only taking a few steps without holding on, by wednesday, she was taking about 5-10 steps...a little shakey but good. She was pushing her little shopping cart around the house like a maniac following me everywhere:) It was so good to see! Monday she walked from one end of the house to the other to come find me! It's the first time she has walked/moved to me since early december! Praise God! By friday in Owen Sound she was moving and groving everywhere! All over Ryan's little apartment without holding on. Wanting to "walt", as she says it. She would just come to you and say "hi mom. Bye" and walk to the door pretending she was going grocery shopping, then come back and say, "i back now." It was sooo sweet:)
Ryan had a great time with them on the weekend and said she was walking everywhere.
Falling is still an issue as her arms still aren't strong enough to brace for a front fall, so we continue to work on that here and at preschool.
So what a great update for last week!
This morning getting ready for preschool, she was pushing her little baby stroller walking all over the house. When i went to pick her up after preschool...she was sitting crying with the PT. Something is wrong. One of her legs/knees/something is in pain and she can't walk again. It's physically hurting her...not mental. the PT couldn't feel any difference in the legs, but it's hard for her to tell with Ayla crying no matter where she touches her just because she wants to be done. She suggested that i carry her for the next couple hours until we got home and then let her do something she normalls does at home and see if she actually does hurt or if it's just she didn't want to do anything for PT today. We've tried a few times and she can't move one leg. She's very upset beause she desperately wants to push her stroller and cart and stands to do it and cries and can't move. Hopefully it's just soreness from working to hard and will be back to working order again soon, please pray.
Also, today i took Ayla to the dentist. First time she's been. Her teeth have been looking "clear" since the meds. Her teeth are in very rough shapes due to many things; meds, calcium depletion, etc. She is going to need surgery to have caps put on and some other minor things done. The dentist tried to glorify it by saying "they have this really cool program at the hospital called "Surgical Safari" that you can go and do a tour and meet the child life people...." To which i responded...yeah, we know all the child life people and the floor pretty well unfortunately." It's a day in, under anestetic, home later in the day. It won't happen until July/August.
I feel so bad for my girl...i am so happy to see how God has healed her and i don't have a clue why this is happening and she has to endure some more.
With lots of love and thanks,
Lacy

Goodness momma - that is some glorious news and such a sad set back - here's hoping that her weekend of cruising has just tired her out and maybe she needs to progress more slowly - it is good that she still wants to try - so you know that as soon as her leg feels better she's going to try and use it!
ReplyDeletexoxo love to you all always!!
Lacy, you are doing so well. I am so proud of you! We will pray... She is a fighter and atleast she still wanted to push her stroller, that is a good sign (I think) that although it has been a rough road lately, her spirit and determination are still good. She is a doll!

<3 praying
ReplyDeleteI just know that she'll be up and walking soon. She has such a strong spirit! Our experience going to the hospital for Zoe and doing the safari was an okay experience. It will all be fine! Hugs!
